Special to Independent Newsmedia
Jewish Family & Children's Service, a human services nonprofit in Maricopa County, announced the return of its annual Adopt A Family program.
With a legacy spanning more than two decades, this initiative matches families and teens receiving care at JFCS clinics with sponsors who provide gifts for the holidays.
Highlights of the Adopt A Family program include:
100% of Donations Go Directly to Families: Every penny donated to the Adopt A Family program is channeled directly to the families in need.
Serving Families for Christmas and Hanukkah: While many families receive gifts specifically for Christmas, JFCS’ Adopt A Family stands out as the only program in Maricopa County that also serves families celebrating Hanukkah.
Nominated by Professionals: Families and teens benefiting from this program are nominated by JFCS clinicians and caseworkers who know firsthand who in the community is most in need.
Personalized Gifting: Each donor is provided with a detailed family profile, including a wish list of essential items and gifts. This ensures that every gift directly addresses the unique needs and wishes of the adopted family.
“The Adopt A Family program is more than just a holiday drive, it's a testament to the power of community,” Kathy Rood, Adopt A Family program director, shared in a news release. “By connecting donors directly with families, we're fostering a sense of unity and shared joy for everyone, regardless of age, faith or background. The support this program brings is invaluable."
The deadline to adopt a family or teen in this year's Adopt a Family program is Sunday, Dec. 10.
With a goal to adopt 200 families and raise $8,000, JFCS invites the community to come together and make this holiday season memorable for families in need.
